Abstract: A scanned image of a document includes a pair of fiducial marks, and a code mark between and at least substantially collinear with the pair of fiducial marks. A location of a feature within the scanned image of the document, other than the pair of fiducial marks and the code mark, is determined based on the pair of fiducial marks and the code mark within the scanned image.

Abstract: An example of a system for presenting coupons is disclosed herein. An example of the system includes a user interface to collect information from a user and present coupons to the user and a non-transitory storage medium including a first database of information relating to the user collected from the user interface and further including a second database of coupons. The system also includes a coupon engine to: aggregate coupons from different sources, normalize the coupons into a common coupon data format, and store the coupons in the second database of the non-transitory storage medium. The system further includes an offer engine to analyze the coupons in the second database based in part on the collected information in the first database relating to the user to create a set of coupons for the user. An example of a method for presenting personalized coupon offers is also disclosed.

Abstract: A printer contains a list of objects to be printed under control of a controller. Different resolutions for the objects are included in the list of objects to be printed. In one embodiment, each item has an associated resolution indicating a minimum resolution for printing the item, unless the item before it has the same resolution. In such a case, the previous resolution is used to render ensuing objects for printing until an object requires a different resolution. A rendering module renders the object for printing as a function of the listed resolutions and resolutions supported by the printer. If the desired resolution is lower than that supported by the printer, the lowest resolution of the printer is used to render the object.

Abstract: Embodiments including detection of color content in an image are disclosed.

Abstract: It is determined whether a print job to be output on a color laser-printing device is to have reduced color toner usage. In response to determining that the print job is to have reduced color toner usage, the print job is adjusted so that the print job consumes less color toner when output on the color laser-printing device, by color-desaturating the print job.

Abstract: Systems for accessing information corresponding to print jobs are provided. An exemplary system includes a print preview system that operates in conjunction with a printing device. Specifically, the printing device includes a display device and stores information corresponding to a print job in memory. The print preview system is operative to receive information corresponding to a request to preview at least a portion of the print job. The print preview system also is operative to access the information corresponding to the print job, and display a thumbnail graphical representation corresponding to the portion of the print job requested via the display device. Methods, computer-readable media and other systems also are provided.

Abstract: Print menu macros for printing devices can be created and print parameters can be set in accordance with the macros. In accordance with one aspect, a printing device includes an input component through which a user can input a print menu macro for the printing device. In accordance with another aspect, printing device includes an input component through which a user can select a print menu macro for the printing device and have print parameters for the printing device set in accordance with the selected print menu macro.

Abstract: A method of providing printing and embossing data includes transmitting print image data defining an image to be printed and emboss image data defining an image to be embossed, where the data is transmitted over a single data path to a common recipient processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for applying 8-bit alpha blending to a bitonal source image and a bitonal destination image to produce a bitonal blended image. The bitonal blended image has a high quality, but memory resources are preserved because the process is accomplished without expanding the 1-bit images to 8-bit space before generating the blended image.
